GEORGE
A. MOORE
GEORGE A. MOORE,
President of the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Company of California, was born
in Philadelphia, February 9, 1834. His father, Herbert T. Moore, a native
of Maine, descended from English ancestry that settled in America during the
reign of Queen Anne. Mr. Moore was reared and educated mostly in New York city, and was a student of medicine and the natural
sciences.
During all his mature
life he has been engaged in and devoted to the insurance business, and is now
giving his attention to the interests of the Pacific Mutual Insurance
Company. Early in his history he was engaged in fire and inland marine
insurance. In 1864 he became general agent for life-insurance companies,
and in 1874 came to California. In 1876 he accepted a position with the
company with which he has ever since been connected; serving first as managing
director and afterward as vice-president, until in 1880 he became president of
the company. During his presidency the assets of the company have
increased 200 per cent, and its agencies have been extended into thirty “States
and Territories, thereby adding largely to the volume of its business and
annual income.
